What is
geography?
Geography is the study of physical environments and human habitats. It deals with people and places. It covers issues such as global warming and climate change, regional economic disparities, urban transportation, native land claims and permafrost problems. Both a physical and a social science, it provides a unique opportunity to obtain a broad exposure to modes of analyzing the many environmental and locational problems of contemporary society.
